About

M. Vivent is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work has helped establish transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a viable, minimally invasive approach for treating head and neck cancers. Their research focuses on the application and refinement of TORS for tumors in various challenging localizations, demonstrating that this endoscopic technique can achieve effective oncologic resection while reducing patient morbidity. Vivent’s landmark 2011 study, detailing a series of 17 cases, remains a frequently cited reference in the field, accumulating 39 citations for its demonstration of TORS’s feasibility and safety. A subsequent 2011 paper further expanded on this work, showing the technique’s versatility across different cancer sites within the head and neck. Conducted at the ENT Department of Limoges University Hospital, Vivent’s contributions provided crucial early evidence that helped shift surgical practice toward less invasive robotic approaches, offering patients quicker recovery times and fewer complications. Their work continues to inform the evolving standards for robotic head and neck surgery.
